    Rentrak Reports Fiscal 2008 Fourth Quarter and Year-End Financial ResultsLinear TV Measurement Trials Surpass 2 Million Set Top Boxes

    PORTLAND, Ore., June 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Rentrak Corp. today announced financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and full year ended March 31, 2008.

    Fiscal 2008 Fourth Quarter Results

    Consolidated revenues totaled $22.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, compared with $28.1 million in the year-ago period.

    -- Revenues in the company's Advanced Media Information (AMI) segment grew 29.0 percent to $2.8 million from $2.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 and increased five percent from $2.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. The increases primarily reflect incremental revenues generated from new and existing customers of the company's Essentials Suite(TM) of media measurement services. The AMI segment represented approximately 13 percent of consolidated revenues and contributed approximately 28 percent of consolidated gross margin dollars in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. -- Revenues in the company's Pay-Per-Transaction(R) (PPT) segment totaled $19.5 million, compared with $25.9 million in last year's comparable quarter and $21.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. The declines primarily reflect lower volumes of units shipped and fewer rental transactions during the quarter, in part as the result of the previously announced loss of the company's former fifth and sixth largest product suppliers.

    Selling and administrative expenses totaled $6.6 million, or 29.8 percent of revenues, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, compared with $6.9 million, or 24.7 percent of revenues, during last year's fiscal fourth quarter. Operating income was $1.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, versus $2.3 million in the same period last year.

    Net income was $1.7 million, or $0.15 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, compared with $1.6 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in last year's comparable period. Fiscal 2008 fourth quarter net income included favorable tax adjustments of approximately $560,000, or $0.05 per diluted share, primarily the result of cumulative tax research and experimentation credits available to Rentrak, related mostly to internally developed software for the company's Essentials multimedia measurement services.

    Fiscal 2008 Full-Year Results

    Consolidated revenues totaled $93.2 million in fiscal 2008, compared with $105.7 million last year.

    -- AMI segment revenues grew 32.7 percent to $10.4 million in fiscal 2008, from $7.8 million in fiscal 2007. -- PPT segment revenues were $82.8 million in fiscal 2008, compared with $97.9 million in fiscal 2007, in part as the result of the previously announced loss of the company's former fifth and sixth largest product suppliers during fiscal 2007.

    Selling and administrative expenses totaled $25.7 million, or 27.6% of revenues, compared with $25.2 million, or 23.8% of revenues, in fiscal 2007. The increase in selling and administrative expenses is primarily due to continued, planned investments in the development of Rentrak's Essentials Suite of media measurement services. Operating income was $5.6 million in fiscal 2008, compared with $8.3 million in fiscal 2007.

    Net income was $4.6 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, in fiscal 2008, compared with $5.9 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, in fiscal 2007.

    Rentrak had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $31.8 million at March 31, 2008, compared with $33.5 million at March 31, 2007. The company generated $3.1 million in cash from operating activities in fiscal 2008 versus $5.9 million in fiscal 2007.

    "Our fiscal 2008 financial results were in line with our expectations," said Rentrak Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Paul Rosenbaum. "We generated the cash flows necessary to strategically invest in future growth opportunities, continued operating our businesses in an efficient manner and completed the year in a very strong financial position."

    Recent Operating Highlights -- AMI division continued substantial growth trend; -- Inked multi-year video on demand (VOD) measurement agreement with Cox Communications, the third-largest cable television company in the United States; -- Expanded VOD capabilities outside the U.S. with the addition of Rogers Cable in Canada; -- Now providing aggregated, census-level on demand television data for all of the major MSOs in the cable industry; -- Amassed 100 percent on demand measurement market penetration, processing data representing 54 million set-top boxes from 28 MSOs and used by more than 100 content provider partners every day to help them make advertising and programming decisions critical to their businesses; -- On track for commercial launch of linear TV measurement product, TV Essentials(TM), in the first quarter of calendar 2009; -- Linear TV measurement trials surpass 2 million set top boxes; -- Identifying additional revenue streams through the development of video measurement applications for broadband and mobile; and -- Well positioned to provide independent third party measurement system for dynamic advertising through Ad Essentials product.

    "We remain confident in Rentrak's ability to meet the evolving needs of the entertainment industry and are well positioned to drive increasing value to all of our stakeholders through continued innovation, hard work and determination," concluded Rosenbaum.

    Informatica Positioned in Leaders Quadrant in Data Quality Tools Magic QuadrantBased on ability to execute and completeness of vision for data quality

    REDWOOD CITY, Calif., June 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Informatica Corporation , the leading independent provider of data integration software and services, today announced that it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the leaders' quadrant in the 2008 Magic Quadrant for Data Quality Tools report.

    Ted Friedman and Andreas Bitterer, authors of the report state, "leaders in the market demonstrate strength across a complete range of data quality functionality, including profiling, parsing, standardization, matching, validation and enrichment. They exhibit a clear understanding and vision of where the market is headed, including recognition of noncustomer data quality issues and the delivery of enterprise-level data quality implementations. Leaders have an established market presence, significant size and a multinational presence."

    According to the report, "growth, innovation and volatility (via mergers and acquisitions) continue to shape the market for data quality tools. Investment on the part of buyers and vendors is increasing as organizations recognize the value of these tools in master data management and information governance initiatives." The complete report, including the quadrant graphic, is available on the Informatica web site at http://www.informatica.com/dq_mq/.

    "We believe Informatica's positioning in the leaders quadrant reflects our strategic vision and commitment to data quality, our expanding portfolio of innovative data quality solutions, and our rapidly mounting presence in this fast growing market," said Chris Boorman, chief marketing officer, Informatica.

    Over the past 12 months, Informatica has strengthened its leadership position in data quality by executing on its product development roadmap and adding a strategic acquisition. Just last week, Informatica announced Informatica 8.6, the first comprehensive, unified, and open platform for data integration. The new release delivers proactive data quality, preventing problems from occurring at the point-of-entry.

    With the recent acquisition of Identity Systems, Informatica integrates pioneering identity resolution technology to broaden Informatica's data quality offerings with capabilities for searching, matching and resolving identification data across multiple systems and more than 60 languages. This capability, an integral part of Informatica Data Quality 8.6, offers enormous advantages in the areas of governance, risk management, compliance, national security, fraud detection and combating identity theft.

    In addition to its technology investments, Informatica has continued to hire experts in the field of data quality, increasing its ability to satisfy customer demand. As a result of these investments, Informatica's Data Quality business has grown at more than 100 percent CAGR for each of the past two consecutive years.

    In recent quarters, over half of all Informatica's customer transactions include Data Quality products, creating a "1+1=3" opportunity as Informatica broadens its business beyond its traditional area of leadership in Data Integration.

    VIDEO from Medialink and Siemens: Seeing the Body in HD

    NEW YORK, June 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Ask any entertainment or electronics junkie and they will tell you, HD is where it's at. And, while watching your favorite TV show in HD won't save your life, new advancements in HD medical technology just might.

    (See video from Siemens at: http://media.medialink.com/WebNR.aspx?story=35207)

    The Biograph HD PET-CT system from Siemens is the world's first to utilize high-definition technology. Makers say the system will enable doctors to view high-resolution, distortion-free images, allowing them to visualize small lesions and reduce false positives.

    In medical terms, PET-CT integrates the functional sensitivity of PET, with the rich anatomical detail of diagnostic CT, allowing physicians to detect changes in molecular activity before anatomical changes become visible. Simply put, this helps doctors detect diseases like Alzheimer's or heart disease, before they become apparent using traditional imaging methods. The system was first unveiled last year and is now being installed at hospitals worldwide.

    Dow Jones Insight-2008 Presidential Election Media Pulse: Democrats Dominated Primary Season Press Coverage; Obama Rallies on Faith and Fundraising for the White House

    NEW YORK, June 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Results from the Dow Jones Insight-2008 Presidential Election Media Pulse show that if media coverage is an indicator of the final outcome of the Democratic presidential candidate race, then the nomination was Barack Obama's all along, as he outpaced Hillary Clinton in mentions in both the traditional press and the social media, with blogs and message boards leading the way.

    From Super Tuesday on February 5 through Friday, June 6, the last day on which Clinton was officially in the race, Obama received 57 percent of the Democrats' total social media coverage with 268,916 mentions on the blogs and boards, compared with Clinton's 43 percent, or 205,805. Dow Jones Insight analyzed 2 million of the most influential blogs and more than 6,000 message boards, with data compiled from a total of 418,234 unique documents.

    During the primary period as a whole, traditional press coverage of the Democrats remained consistent with a slight nod to Obama. He received 52 percent of all mentions in mainstream press sources for the two Democrats with 756,281 total mentions, compared with 700,704 mentions, or 48 percent of the total, for Clinton.

    The Road to the White House Paved With Faith and Fundraising

    As the election officially became a two-man race after Hillary Clinton withdrew her candidacy over the weekend, Barack Obama and John McCain continued turning their attention more pointedly toward one another -- and the issues they believe will help them win in November. Based on data from the tracked social media in the past eight days, the Dow Jones Insight-2008 Presidential Election Media Pulse finds that candidate efforts have resonated clearly on certain issues.

    -- Obama dominated even more than usual on the issue of faith representing 40 percent of his total issues-related coverage with 2,423 mentions, compared to McCain's 953 mentions, or 23 percent of his issues coverage -- A number of events drove the faith discussion including Obama cutting ties with his Chicago church and his condemnation of a visiting priest's sermon mocking Clinton, as well as a speech to a pro-Israel group in which he outlined his proposed strategy for the Middle East -- On the issue of fundraising, Obama exceeded McCain in mentions by almost as much as he has in actual funds raised after he announced a ban on lobbyist and PAC donations to the Democratic National Committee -- Obama received 814 mentions on the topic of fundraising, or about 14 percent of his overall issues coverage, compared with 399 mentions, or just 10 percent, for McCain McCain's Economy -- Let Them Have Gas!

    McCain held clear leads on the blogs and boards in terms of taxes and the economy, with both driven in part by his efforts to distance himself from the Bush economic policies at the same time that the Obama team was calling them one and the same. McCain's continued support for a gas-tax holiday for the summer also received coverage.

    On the economy, McCain was mentioned 815 times on the blogs and boards during the tracked period, or 20 percent of his total coverage on all issues, compared to 558 mentions, or 9 percent, for Obama. On the tax issue, McCain saw 553 mentions, while Obama received 439 mentions.

    The Dow Jones Insight-2008 Presidential Election Media Pulse tracks four key areas of media coverage related to the election, as reported across traditional and social media sources, including:

    -- Coverage of key issues by party -- Issue ownership by party -- Coverage of policies by media type -- Share of voice analysis -- press coverage by each candidate

    The Dow Jones Insight-2008 Presidential Election Media Pulse provides a high-level view of a competitive media landscape and demonstrates how candidates and issues are covered in the media and how that coverage changes over time. Dow Jones Insight combines proven research methodologies, trusted content and advanced text-mining and visualization tools to deliver strategic qualitative and quantitative media measurement metrics.

    Mobile Wire Services, Image Positive Pay Now Available to CEO Mobile(SM) Users

    SAN FRANCISCO, June 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Wells Fargo & Company -- the only provider of browser-based mobile banking for commercial customers -- has added wire transfer services and image positive pay functionality to its CEO Mobile(SM) service. CEO Mobile service is a streamlined, mobile-optimized version of the company's award-winning Commercial Electronic Office(R) portal.

    "Our customers told us they wanted to handle wires and check exceptions without being at their desks," said Megan Minich, who leads the CEO Channel team for Wells Fargo's Wholesale Internet and Treasury Solutions group. "And when our customers give us feedback, we act."

    CEO Mobile users now can initiate and approve wires. Meanwhile, image positive pay gives mobile customers the ability to view exceptions, including the check image -- an important protection against fraud -- when deciding to pay or reject check exceptions.

    In addition to the new services available to all CEO Mobile users, additional functionality is being piloted. These pilot users can manage and decision potentially fraudulent ACH transactions, view even more balance and reporting information, and company administrators can perfect tasks such as resetting user's passwords.

    "These new functions give our customers more convenience than ever -- they can perform critical banking tasks anywhere they can use their mobile device," Minich said. "The CEO Mobile service gives our customers the freedom to make decisions wherever they are."

    "I was recently able to travel on business without my laptop, which is something I rarely do," said Laurie Steele, treasurer for Marion County in Oregon. "In fact, on my first day away from the office I realized we needed to pay a vendor to meet the contract payment terms. I initiated the wire payment on my cell phone, and since we have dual control processes a secondary approver was able to release it from the office. It was all done in a matter of minutes."

    Wells Fargo introduced the CEO Mobile service to a select group of customers in April 2007, becoming the first and only major U.S. financial services company to offer mobile commercial banking. In addition to the newly added functionality, the CEO Mobile service delivers key reporting information -- including balances, float, account activity and wire detail.

    Wells Fargo & Company is a diversified financial services company with $595 billion in assets, providing banking, insurance, investments, mortgage and consumer finance through almost 6,000 stores and the internet (http://www.wellsfargo.com/) across North America and internationally. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. is the only bank in the U.S., and one of only two banks worldwide, to have the highest possible credit rating from both Moody's Investors Service, "Aaa," and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, "AAA."

    General Motors établit une nouvelle norme de qualité dans l'industrie automobile

    TORONTO, June 10 /PRNewswire/ --

    - Partenariat avec Dyadem en vue du déploiement mondial de la plate-forme Stature de gestion du cycle de vie de la qualité

    Dyadem a annoncé aujourd'hui que General Motors a sélectionné sa plate-forme Stature pour la gestion de la qualité dans toutes ses divisions d'ingénierie et de fabrication à l'échelle mondiale. Dyadem est un leader dans la gestion du cycle de vie de la qualité et du risque.

    Stature permettra à GM de mettre à profit un cadre de travail commun pour les processus DFMEA (Design Failure Mode Effects Analysis - analyse des effets d'une mauvaise conception) et PFMEA (Process Failure Mode Effects Analysis - analyse des effets d'un mauvais processus). La solution QLM Stature aide les sociétés à améliorer considérablement la qualité en renforçant de façon proactive les conceptions basées sur l'expérience et en réduisant les lacunes de communication entre les services et les organisations.

    << Notre intention était d'améliorer nos processus FMEA qualité et l'approche unique de Dyadem est exactement ce dont nous avons besoin. Dyadem comprend que la qualité doit être gérée au niveau de l'entreprise. Dyadem possède une très bonne plate-forme intuitive basée sur l'Internet que notre entreprise peut utiliser pour standardiser ses processus >>, estime Kirk Gutmann, responsable international des systèmes informatique, division Services et systèmes informatiques pour la qualité et la fabrication chez GM.

    Stature permet à GM d'effectuer une planification de la qualité par l'intermédiaire d'une bibliothèque commune à toutes les divisions et à toutes les régions, permettant une meilleure visibilité de la qualité et l'intégration dans la conception des mises à jour de la fabrication. Les modèles internationaux de fabrication ont besoin d'une solution Qualité qui garantit la communication et le partage des connaissances dans tous les services, les divisions et les régions géographiques.

    << GM comprend l'importance de la planification de la qualité à travers une approche mondiale. De nombreuses sociétés essayent de corriger les problèmes de conception au niveau de la fabrication mais omettent d'intégrer la qualité dans l'ensemble du cycle de vie du produit. En unifiant tous ses services mondiaux d'ingénierie et de fabrication sur la plate-forme Stature, GM se place à l'avant-garde et fournit à ces services une spécification commune de la qualité qui peut être gérée de la conception du produit jusqu'à sa mise hors circulation >>, déclare Kevin North, PDG de Dyadem.

    Oxford, Massachusetts Residents to Benefit from Verizon Wireless Network ExpansionInvesting to Stay Ahead of Growing Demand for Wireless Voice, Multimedia and Internet Access

    OXFORD, Mass., June 10 /PRNewswire/ -- In a continuing effort to provide the best wireless service for local residents in Worcester County, Verizon Wireless has activated a new cell site. The new site increases high-speed wireless data coverage and capacity along Routes 20, 56, and 12 in Oxford, Massachusetts, as well as the surrounding area.

    Verizon Wireless has invested more than $45 billion since it was formed to increase the coverage and capacity of its national network and to add new services like BroadbandAccess and V CAST. Regionally the company has invested nearly $2.2 billion into its New England network, including over $292 million in 2007 alone. As a result of these investments, every Verizon Wireless cell site in New England offers wireless broadband connectivity.

    BroadbandAccess offers computer users the nation's most reliable high-speed wireless mobile broadband network, operating at average upload speeds between 500 and 800 kbps, and download speeds between 600 kbps and 1.4 mbps over Verizon Wireless' BroadbandAccess with EV-DO Revision A network. V CAST brings video clips of TV shows, music on demand and other multimedia services to wireless phones.

    Strong demand for Verizon Wireless services continued during the first quarter of 2008 as the company added 1.5 million net new customers and, for the fourteenth consecutive quarter, reported the lowest customer turnover (highest customer loyalty) rate in the wireless industry.

    The company's 'nation's most reliable wireless network' reputation is based on network studies performed by real-life test men and test women throughout the country who inspired the "can you hear me now" national advertising campaign. Nationally, these test men and women drive nearly 100 specially equipped vehicles almost 1,000,000 miles annually on Interstate, U.S. and state highways as well as major roads and surface streets in high-population areas, based upon U.S. Census counts, to confirm that voice calls and data connections are successful on the first attempt and stay connected. Vehicles are equipped with computers that automatically make more than three million voice call attempts and more than 16 million data tests annually on Verizon Wireless' network and the networks of other carriers.

    About Verizon Wireless

    Verizon Wireless operates the nation's most reliable wireless voice and data network, serving 67.2 million customers. Headquartered in Basking Ridge, N.J., with 69,000 employees nationwide, Verizon Wireless is a joint venture of Verizon Communications and Vodafone (NYSE and LSE: VOD).

    AnalogicTech's New WLED Drivers Reduce Footprint of Mid-range Camera PhonesHighly Integrated IC Combines Four Backlight, Two Flash Channels in Compact Package

    SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Advanced Analogic Technologies, Inc. (AnalogicTech) , a developer of power management semiconductors for mobile consumer electronic devices, announced today the AAT2848, a new tri-mode charge pump driver IC for white LED (WLED) backlight display and flash applications. By integrating four backlight channels capable of driving up to 30 mA each with two flash channels capable of driving up to 300 mA each, or 600 mA in parallel, in a small 3mm x 3mm TQFN33-20 package, this new device offers mid-range camera phone designers a highly attractive space-saving solution.

    (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20050829/SFTU089LOGO)

    "Until recently designers building mid-range camera phones featuring cameras with 2 to 5 megapixel resolution needed to use independent devices for backlight and flash functions," said Phil Dewsbury, product line manager at AnalogicTech. "By integrating into a single compact IC both the backlight function and flash output current levels one would expect only from a discrete flash driver IC, the AAT2848 helps handset designers reduce board space, minimize component count and simplify their design."

    New Fade-in/Fade-out Function

    The AAT2848 is a tri-mode charge pump offering 1X, 1.5X and 2X operation. The IC drives four backlight LED channels at up to 30 mA each using the charge pump in dual mode (1X and 1.5X) and two flash LED channels at up to 300 mA each in tri-mode (1X, 1.5X and 2X).

    To enable, disable and set LED current, the AAT2848 features two of AnalogicTech's patented Simple Serial Control (S(2)Cwire) serial digital interfaces. For backlight functions the device can set current to any of 32 programmable levels. The flash LED outputs can be set independently across 16 programmable levels. Full scale current is independently set for backlight and flash using external resistors.

    The new driver IC also features an innovative fade-in/fade-out function which gradually increases backlight LED brightness from off to fully on across a 63-step linear progression. Fade time is controllable by an external capacitor. By replacing microprocessor-based software schemes for the same function, this feature offers a smoother transition to full brightness while reducing software overhead.

    The device also adds a user-programmable safety timer to protect the flash LEDs from thermal damage. This function can be used to terminate a flash event after a pre-determined period of time. Both the safety timer and flash/strobe operation is enabled via a separate flash enable pin.

    The AAT2848 also comes with integrated short-circuit and over-temperature protection. Soft start circuitry prevents excessive inrush current at start-up and during mode transitions.

    Price and Availability

    Qualified across the -40 C to +85 degrees C temperature range, the AAT2848 is available in a Pb-free, 20-pin TQFN package. The device sells for $1.42 in 1K quantities.

    MTV and SpinVox Partner to Launch First Ever Integrated Voice Powered Cause-Related Social Networking Campaign 'Stand By What You Say'CAMPAIGN VOICED BY SUPERSTAR KELLY ROWLAND'CAUSES' PROMOTES CAMPAIGN TO ITS 12 MILLION MEMBERS

    LONDON and NEW YORK, June 10 /PRNewswire/ -- MTV's Staying Alive Foundation, SpinVox and Causes on Facebook today announced the launch of their joint campaign, 'Stand By What You Say'. The groundbreaking initiative encourages young people to speak openly about sex, sexual health and HIV/AIDS, with a view to increasing awareness and breaking down the stigma and discrimination which so often accompanies the disease.

    The campaign, which uses the SpinVox service to convert voice messages into text, is the first of its kind. It encourages users to pick up the phone and 'Talk About...' the pleasures and issues surrounding 21st century sex. Those that speak up are then asked to bolster their support by pledging money to the Staying Alive Foundation, MTV's HIV and AIDS charity which allocates grants to youth-led organisations who work to raise awareness on a local, grass-roots level. SpinVox itself will be 'standing by what it says' to match funds raised to the value of $50,000.

    'Stand By What You Say' aims to empower young people to speak freely about sex. It advocates that only by speaking openly can the stigmas be erased and barriers broken down. An open mind leads to open discussions which ultimately helps promote safe sex and lowers the risk of HIV and AIDS.

    Callers are greeted by 2008 Staying Alive Foundation Ambassador Kelly Rowland, who prompts them to leave a message at 513-729-6417. The voice messages are converted to text and posted on a bespoke Staying Alive Blog http://www.standbywhatyousay.com/ by SpinVox. Topics such as 'sex secrets,' 'one night stands' and 'condoms' will act as conversation starters and encourage debate among global youth audience. Different themes and questions will be posed throughout the campaign to keep the contributions coming.

    "MTV is proud to be a part of this innovative campaign," said Bill Roedy, CEO, MTV Networks International. It is only by speaking out openly about sex, sexual health and HIV/AIDS, that attitudes can be changed, barriers broken and stigma reduced. 'STAND BY WHAT YOU SAY' is the right to talk freely about your first crush, about the craziest place you've had sex, about carrying condoms. It's about talking freely about peer pressure to have sex or choosing not to. By speaking freely and standing by what you say, we are encouraging young people to take the first step in altering the dynamics of the epidemic."

    "Voice-powering a campaign in this way is a world first," says Christina Domecq, SpinVox co-founder and CEO. "Together with MTV we're breaking new ground by changing how people can contribute to the Staying Alive Foundation, encouraging them to speak freely, openly and honestly about sex and the issues of HIV/AIDS. Sharing experiences, advice, the good and bad times, but also the ridiculous and humourous moments that happen around sex is a powerful way to involve and educate others, harnessing the power that we all have to change attitudes and so the progression of this disease."

    Novell Joins Microsoft Server Virtualization Validation ProgramMembership extends 18-month technical collaboration around virtualization of Windows on SUSE Linux Enterprise

    WALTHAM, Mass., June 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Novell(R) today announced it has joined Microsoft's Server Virtualization Validation Program. As a result of Novell's participation in this program, customers will be able to confidently run Windows Server 2008 as a virtualized guest on top of the Xen hypervisor in SUSE(R) Linux Enterprise 10 and receive cooperative support from either company. Novell is currently running the tests required by the validation process in the Server Virtualization Validation Program, and expects the tests to be completed by August 2008.

    Microsoft today formally announced the Server Virtualization Validation Program, a new program to enable vendors to validate the combination of Windows Server 2008 as a virtual machine guest running on third party server virtualization solutions. Under the program, vendors will self-test and validate certain technical requirements of their server virtualization software running Windows Server 2008 as a guest operating system.

    Through the existing Novell-Microsoft technical collaboration agreement, Novell was an early participant to the Server Virtualization Validation Program and helped Microsoft fine tune many of the parameters of the Server Virtualization Validation Program. This work included helping to define and validate the technical tests and using the joint Microsoft/Novell Interoperability Lab in Cambridge, Mass., as a test-bed resource.

    As part of its extensive interoperability agreement with Microsoft, Novell holds a unique position as SUSE Linux Enterprise is currently the only Xen hypervisor on which Microsoft will provide full support today for Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2003 running as a virtual guest. Microsoft's Server Virtualization Validation Program is designed to provide customers with additional peace of mind.

    "We continue to hear from customers that they want to run Windows Server 2008 as a virtualized guest on top of SUSE Linux Enterprise," said Carlos Montero-Luque, vice president of product management for Linux and Open Platform Solutions at Novell. "Novell is excited to extend the on-going technical collaboration efforts between Novell and Microsoft to the Server Virtualization Validation Program, which will give customers the performance, security and reliability that comes with running Windows Server 2008 as a virtual guest on SUSE Linux Enterprise."

    The Server Virtualization Validation Program defines a set of technical tests that third party virtualization solutions must pass to become validated by Microsoft. The program also enables vendors to validate various configurations so that mutual customers deploying Windows Server on those configurations can receive cooperative technical support in virtualized environments. Customers with validated solutions will benefit from the support provided by Microsoft as a part of the regular Windows Server technical support framework.

    "Novell played an important role in helping us architect and fine-tune this program," said Zane Adam, senior director of virtualization strategy, Server and Tools Business, Microsoft Corp. "This is just one more illustration of how Novell and Microsoft are working together to develop interoperable virtualization solutions."
